Gifts for Men: Wireless Portable Speakers

November 18, 2014

I am a horrible wife. Last year, I totally forgot Ron’s birthday. In my defense, it falls in the middle of the holiday season, so there was a lot on my mind. So this year I decided to blow his mind with something special and I think I accomplished that goal. I found the perfect wireless portable speakers for my tech gadget guy!

Ron works in the mobile phone industry and is a huge music fan. I wanted to give him a gift which addressed both of these passions. This JBL speaker meets all of his requirements and more: up to 12 hours of battery life, USB charging for other devices, hands-free Bluetooth connectivity, and top-of-the-line speaker quality to support your favorite music playlists and conference calls.

The morning of Ron’s birthday, I secretly paired the Bluetooth speaker connection to his phone (and mine). Then I fully charged the battery while he was at work. I turned the power on the speaker and wrapped it up. My plan was to play one of Ron’s favorite play lists thru the speaker to see if he could figure out what was inside the package.

To test my plan, I put the wrapped gift on the ground and played BabyCakes’ favorite song…’Bossy’ by Kelis. She immediately ran to the package and started twerking (that’s a special dance move that she has perfected).

I surprised Ron with a few friends over for cocktails that night, then mentioned that we needed some music to complete the party. I played one of his playlists from my phone on the JBL Charge 2 speaker. My plan worked like a charm. He was so excited to find the speaker inside!

He has not put down this speaker since he took it out of the box! He uses it in the master bath to listen to music while getting ready in the morning. He uses it in our home office for conference calls. He even zip-ties it to his bicycle to listen to music while going for a ride.

I am planning to buy this same gift for several friends and family members this holiday season. I love that it can be easily ordered on-line with FREE shipping and returns. The JBL Holiday Gift Guide 2014 has something for everyone on your list! What more can you ask for?
